Bees seen as largely fractured

A GROWING NUMBER of Barbadians appear wary of the apparent lack of unity in the Opposition Barbados Labour Party (BLP), and believe it could affect their ability to govern effectively.

That’s one of the findings of the CADRES poll conducted for the SUNDAY SUN earlier this month, which showed that 41 per cent of Barbadians believe the Bees are not united enough to govern effectively.

This was up from the 37 per cent who held this view in a September 2012 poll.

These numbers were largely consistent with the movement of those who said they believed the BLP was unified enough to effectively govern the country – 33 per cent this month compared with 40 per cent in September 2012. (RRM)
